Introducing the Discovery-Z motorized comparison microscope, designed and built by Leeds with Zeiss optics

Introducing the new Discovery-Zmotorized firearms and tool marks comparison microscope. Designed with Leeds’ new magnetic adjustable stage controllers, examiners will experience:

Real-time, tactile controls -provides a feeling similar to controlling a non-motorized stage

Positionable controls – magnetic controls can be adjusted for the most comfortable position on the work station

Synchronicity – allows examiner to control the left or right stage, or both stages simultaneously

Zeiss Zen Software Z-stack

Designed with two adjustable 9” x 7” stages, the Discovery-Z offers an open work station area. Examiners can access the free-standing stages from multiple angles and the increased work surface stages can accommodate larger articles of evidence for analysis.

The Discovery-Z directly interfaces with the Zeiss Zen software, providing control of the Zeiss camera, as well as the 3-axis motorized stages. The Discovery-Z software/hardware package also offers examiners automated control of Z-stack and tiled images.
